WHY TR7 · PERFORMANCE

Measurable Performance With Security Enabled

An architecture designed for low latency and high throughput while WAAP inspection, SSL/TLS processing, ADC routing, and DDoS protection all run on the same platform.

On enterprise security and application delivery platforms, performance is often described through ideal tests where features are turned off. In production, SSL, WAAP, DDoS, logging, and health checks all run at the same time.

TR7 combines hardware-accelerated crypto, a non-blocking I/O proxy engine, and a kernel-space packet-processing approach in a single architecture. The goal is to deliver a measurable, reproducible, low-latency performance experience even while the security layers are active.

A performance claim must be measurable.

TR7 datasheet values describe the reference test conditions for the corresponding model. Verification can be performed in your own environment with appropriate test topology, traffic profile, and standard benchmarking tools.

Performance With Clear Reference Conditions Instead of Lab Numbers

A performance value is only meaningful when its conditions are understood. TR7 highlights a verifiable performance approach in the context of model, traffic profile, TLS algorithm, and security policy.

Old way
Datasheet numbers produced in closed lab tests that are hard to reproduce in production.
TR7 way
Performance values described with reference test conditions, verifiable with standard benchmarking tools in the right environment.
Old way
Architectures where SSL, WAAP, DDoS, and ADC layers are processed sequentially; every layer adds latency.
TR7 way
Full-stack parallel processing — low overhead and low latency are maintained even with every security feature enabled.
Old way
A separate module and a separate resource pool for every feature; CPU and rack space are fragmented.
TR7 way
A single engine, a single resource pool — lower CPU load, less rack space, more efficient operations.
VERIFIABLE PERFORMANCE

Proof, Not Just a Claim

Performance numbers earn trust when the conditions they were produced under are clear.

TR7's performance architecture rests on three foundations: hardware-accelerated SSL/TLS, a non-blocking I/O proxy engine, and kernel-space L4 routing. This structure runs with the same engine, the same interface, and the same operational model from a small branch office to a datacenter.

Performance values can vary depending on the selected model, license capacity, traffic profile, TLS algorithm, packet size, security policy, and test topology. Datasheet values describe the reference test conditions for the corresponding model.

Hardware-Accelerated Encryption

Hardware-accelerated SSL/TLS via AES-NI and AVX-512 instructions. TLS 1.3 single-round handshakes and Zero-RTT session resumption reduce connection latency.

SSL/TLS acceleration

Multi-Connection Management

Non-blocking I/O and zero-copy packet processing handle many connections per thread with low side effects. HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 multiplexing achieve near-linear scaling by core count.

Connection multiplexing architecture

Kernel-Space L4 Routing

Routing decisions stay within the network layer. The Fastest+ multi-metric algorithm evaluates multiple signals simultaneously, such as response time and queue depth; it supports 6 different deployment modes.

Fastest+ routing

Fourteen different load balancing algorithms and active health monitoring run within the same engine, with no extra license or module.

PARALLEL PROCESSING

Low Overhead With the Full Stack Active

An architecture that uses resources efficiently, without forcing an unnecessary choice between security and performance.

Test Conditions and Reference Context

Performance values can vary depending on the model, license capacity, traffic profile, TLS algorithm, packet size, security policy, and test topology. Datasheet numbers describe the reference test conditions for the corresponding model; for production evaluation, benchmarking aligned with the organization's traffic characteristics is recommended.

For capacity planning that fits your model, see the hardware models and licensing guide pages.

PRODUCT FAMILY

A Single Platform Architecture From 50 Mbps to 800 Gbps

From branch office to datacenter, every model runs the same engine, the same interface, and the same feature set. Only the capacity changes.

TR7 measures bandwidth based on the user-side total traffic of a vService: requests coming in from the user and responses going back to the user. Backend traffic, in-appliance management traffic, and blocked attacks are not counted toward the license. For details of the hardware models, see the platform/appliances page.

SSL/TLS ENGINE

1.2 Million Encrypted Handshakes Per Second

Hardware-accelerated crypto processing — delivered as part of the platform architecture, without requiring extra cards or licenses.

The SSL/TLS engine is built on kernel-space packet processing and AES-NI/AVX-512 instructions. SSL/TLS acceleration is offered as part of the platform's standard capability set, without a separate card or extra module.

Hardware Acceleration

Dedicated crypto processing — 1.2M+ TPS for ECDSA, 80K TPS for RSA-2K. No separate SSL card is required. A built-in CAPTCHA engine for bot challenges; no dependency on an external service.

Modern Cipher Support

Full TLS 1.3 support with Perfect Forward Secrecy, OCSP Stapling, and post-quantum-ready cipher suites. Built-in 1-RTT connection acceleration.

SSL Offload + Bridging

Offloading encryption from backend servers to the appliance significantly reduces backend CPU load. In bridging mode, both external and internal traffic can be inspected.

Certificate Lifecycle

Automatic deployment, renewal, and revocation through ACME integration. Manual certificate management overhead is removed.

Not performance with security turned off, but performance under conditions close to the production reality.

TR7's performance approach considers not only the best lab scenario but the real production architecture in which SSL, WAAP, ADC, and DDoS layers operate together.
